Technical information about the beamline are available here: XAS Technical InformationBeamtime applications will be scored and ranked according to scientific merit, track record, need for synchrotron radiation, and technical feasibility and clarity.

Preparing Your Beamtime Proposal
Ensure you read and follow the entire proposal guidelines document, or otherwise your proposal is likely noncompetitive. All new users to the beamline must contact the beamline scientists well in advance of submitting their proposal in order to discuss feasibility and maximise their chances of success. Any applicants seeking to use Hutch C are requested to do same.

When evaluating your proposal, the beamline team will first consider a series of prerequisites. It is essential that you can answer ‘yes’ to the following questions:
...
Does the experimental plan include a table of samples and experimental conditions as outlined in the guidelines? See example on page 5 of the guidelines.
...
If you have not used the XAS beamline over the past 3 years, have you contacted the beamline scientist team to discuss the feasibility of your experiment?
...
If you are proposing an experiment for Hutch C (non-standard experimental set-ups), have you contacted the beamline scientist team to discuss the feasibility of your experiment?
...
If you are applying for more than 6 shifts (2 days), are at least 3 people listed as attending?
...
The XAS Beamline operates across a range of different energy modes, and it takes significant time to change between modes (see XAS Technical Information and the Australian Synchroton website). If you need access to absorption edges in different modes, please submit a separate proposal for each mode (e.g. Part 1, Part 2, containing different sample tables).
Overhead times to consider in your experimental plan:
...
The first 4 to 6 hours will be required for beamline optimisation, inductions, training, and radiation hardness testing.
